"Hey y'all. I finally recorded the song that I performed at the Coffee House back in May 2005. It was my own rendition of A Tribe Called Quest's \"Check The Rhime\". I got a very receptive response. I had blanked out for the last 6 lines and had to freestyle. That was a nice lil test for me. Anyway, here's the lyrics and the song. Enjoy it. \n \nMay 14, 2005 (circa 6:00 p.m.) - May 16, 2005 (9:15 a.m.) © 2005 \n \nVerse 1 \n1, 2, here's the introduction \nListen to the flow of the lyrics and the beat of the percussion \nNothin's gonna stop me from rockin' \nHandin' me the mic is ya only option \nAnd if not then, the crowd is gonna go \ncuz they didn't get a show and they'll end up closed \nBut I can save ya, wit good behavior \nLet 'em hear a MC that can kick it major \nPen hits the paper wit word submission \nAnd how I feel towards the rhythm, that's my decision \nGivin' U a vision of how I'm livin' \nor a fantasy imagining \nI'm not an automated service \nI ain't worthless, I got a purpose \nand I exert this force by choice \nReleasin' creative lyrics comin' outta my jaws \nCheck the rhyme, respect the lines \nPerfectly defined in Hip Hop's hectic times \nWhile they're clowin', loungin', they're lost but I'm found \nwit a sound that they wish wasn't around \nStyles change, and everybody wants to reign in the game \nHave a bigger cash flow and out-do the next \nThat's why ya scratch bein' neighbors \ncuz they'll try to play ya \nSee, U can get hurt and U can feel irked \nBein' low and gettin kicked to the dirt \nSome think to highly of our society \nBut it's a cliff and they fall off like Wyle E. \nGettin looney to tune cuz I got enuff room \nto push down on the dynamite box and go boom \nRecover and check the rhyme \nEverything's in order and still fine \n \nVerse 2 \nGet back into delight as I rap again \nThe 1st verse was gettin' lonely, so I brought a friend \nthat's convenient entertainment \nFluently speaking the same language \nIf U can't hang wit the dialect that a brain collects \nmove down a step for ya next best bet \nSet up the scene, what's happening \nI'm a be like a camera, and capture things \nI'm walkin down a long avenue \nGettin looked at by people that I never knew \nI'm in a backwards hat, and I don't back track \nunless I'm playin' music cuz I love hearin' that \nJust move to the groove, soothing to da ear \nNo matter the emotion, I'm a feel it, yeah \nMaybe have a cutie catch my eye \nIf I step up, do like a respectful guy \nThen continue when I'm thru, get home and write a few rhymes \nif I'm productive wit my mind \nThen record it, rewind, check the playback, it's fine \nPut it to a cd, and spin it anytime \nSee, I'm just a regular \nbut when it comes to Hip Hop, I gotta be a competitor \ncuz they wanna be better, leave U no enjoyment \nof a guy like me that's not annoying \nBringing a great rhythm, that always get 'em \nIf they wanna catch Zs, I ain't the one to see \nThe word is bomb, wit a bond that's strong \nAble to hit the mic, just right in the song \n------------------------------------------------- \n \nJust click on that good ol' bold link in my siggy-iggy-iggy. :2thumbs: \n"
